The compact spare tire can be used
many times, if necessary. It has tread
life of up to 4800 km (3000 miles) de-
pending on road conditions and your
driving habits. When tread wear indi-
cators appear on the tire, replace the
tire.
See also the tire information on page
407 for details on the tread wear indi-
cators and other service information.
CAUTION
D The compact spare tire was de-
signed especially for your To-
yota. Do not use it on any other
vehicle.
D Do not use more than one com-
pact spare tire at the same
time.
D Do not exceed 80 km/h (50
mph) when driving with the
compact spare tire.
D Replace the compact spare tire
with the standard tire as soon
as possible.
D Avoid sudden acceleration,
sudden deceleration and sharp
turns with the compact spare
tire.
NOTICE
Your ground clearance is re-
duced when the compact spare
tire is installed so avoid driving
over obstacles and drive slowly
on rough, unpaved roads and
speed bumps. Also, do not at-
tempt to go through an auto-
matic car wash as the vehicle
may get caught, resulting in
damage.
